PITG Gaming was recently awarded a license to build a 17.5-acre Majestic Star slot machine casino in Pittsburgh's North Shore. PITG CEO Don Barden, a Detroit developer, was awarded the casino license over bids from Isle of Capri Casinos, which pledged to build a $290 million arena in the Hill district neighborhood as part of its proposal, and Forest City Ratner of Cleveland, which proposed a riverfront casino in the city's Station Square entertainment complex.

The report, “Spending Through the Roof,” says that apartment building owners pay an average of $3,400 a year to replace heat lost through the roof. In taller buildings, the cost can be more than $20,000 a year. Illustration: Urban Green Council
